I was hired as a remote worker (as were the other people on my team). During the hiring process I asked, repeatedly "This is a remote job, correct? I'm fine coming in once a month for a team meeting or important events, but I expect to be able to work from home in perpetuity". I was told by everyone during the process that it would be fine and that many of my coworkers are remote.

Now this came out. I was not given a special email on the side that said "don't worry, this isn't about you". I just got the weird threat video.

Don't defend these people please. They're not good at their jobs.
